A year or so ago I finally acquired Betarobo and Gammarobo to combine with the Alpharobo I've had for 20 years, and I've had him combined as shown on the old Voltron boxes since. But since I've been looking around the web, I've noticed that the original Albegas only had one pair of arms at the top.
So what is the proper formation for the arms by the waist and hips? Do they just fold back and flip out of the way?

Thanks linkuu, but I may not have been quite as specific perhaps as I should have. I was really wondering, once the other pairs of arms are folded back, is there a particular way in which they should be arranged? Should they just point straight back? Or should one pair point straight up, and the other straight down? Or is there another way? Sorry if this is an odd question. I just wanted to do it right.  |

The way i've always done it, is:
Bottom arms are folded back, then bent down at the shoulders. Middle arms are folded back, then bent over the previous arms at the elbow. Finally, top arms are out for attack!(with shoulders pulled out I believe).

Finally, top arms are out for attack!(with shoulders pulled out I believe). I second that. Albegas is probably my least favorite chogokin toy. The idea of "customizing" the gattai is interesting, but what you're really left with is just 3 identical toys with just detailing and color variations. Plus the mechanisms for holding the leg parts compressed doesnt work well, so the toy is difficult to pick up without parts opening up and falling off. |

Yeah, it's definitely one of the more unique toys in my collection. I do like it a lot though. It's pretty big when assembled and it's full of diecast. Although the only articulation is in the arms, it still has it's share of "shelf presence". Since I have the US version, there are no firing fists or chrome swords, so I can't really say mine has much play value, but I'm glad it's finally complete and can be diplayed in combined form.  If I ever come across an original DX Albegas for a good price, I may be tempted to get it too. Gotta have those firing fists. |
